Maybe it's just me, but aren't the last couple of posts a better fit for the existing Marimite Image Thread than this one? Stated aim of the Image thread being to post any nice Maria-sama ga Miteru art here, incl. parodies etc, as long as they're not to offending or spoiler-ish.

Edit by Moderator: Yup. They would fit much better there. I've moved them. They are now posts #47-48 in that thread.

I have a question. In first vol. of Negima-manga there is a ball game between Negima's class and other all-girl class and they look like they are from MariMite, especially the main girl looks a lot like Sachiko. Coincidence or parody?

Akamatsu implied it was a parody. Go post this in Negima manga thread you baka.

My deepest apologies for this act of necrophilia -- but I simply had to share a little something with fellow Marimite fans.

If you can, please watch episode 20 ("Otome no Arubamu" i.e. "A Maiden's Album") of Jigoku Shoujo Futakomori (i.e. Hell Girl Season 2) for some dark-hued parody. If you're unfamiliar with Jigoku Shoujo, fear not: you don't have to know anything other than its premise (which you can look up on Wikipedia) since the show is episodic.

The prologue of the upcoming 34th volume "Carry On" has been leaked! Read below, if you dare.

Spoiler for prologue of volume 34, translated:

"Gokigenyou."

"Gokigenyou."

Dude, you sure you want to go in there?

After all, those pure smiles, innocent bodies and souls wrapped in deep-coloured uniforms seem to titillate far too many people -- not just otakus and lesbians!

Walking slowly is preferred here, so as to not disturb the pleats in their skirts or the alignment of their sailor scarves (nice fetishes by the way). Unless of course you're talking of the fourth season -- then all bets are off, the pace becomes furious and countless characters and plot points are forgotten, thanks to a fixation on a certain tsundere.

Lillian Private Academy for Women.

Founded in Meiji 34, this academy was originally intended for the young women of nobility, and is now a prestigious Catholic academy. By the way, the whole Catholic thing may serve as a symbol or an actual plot point as the story dictates. Just don't expect an invasion of fundamentalists.

When eating out, Pizza Hut is preferred.

Where was I? Oh yeah. This is where ladies are nurtured in green(hot)houses and shipped out in carefully packaged boxes after 18 years of schooling. Negotiations with Amazon.co.jp are underway. Mail-order maidens, anyone?

There's also a university next door, which is convenient if one doesn't want to let go of certain characters -- or one's petite soeur.

If you're wondering where the cell phones are -- well, they don't exist in this universe. It's a pity, given how many spectacular feats of miscommunication occur here. But hey, anything to ratchet up the drama, right?

But don't worry. The current Rosa Chinensis is a pixie who magically makes everything right and brightens everyone's lives -- all without a wand! Ruling beside her are Rosa Gigantea, whose great beauty is supposed to be an aspect of her ethereality (when does that ever happen?!?), and Rosa Foetida, a banshee born of a heart operation.

It could be worse. What if one of the roses were some stuck-up, neurotic, hysterical ice princess whose great popularity is founded on her looks, her aristocratic bearing, and her family's fame, power and influence?

Oh, wait.

This might as well be the Meiji era. Carry on.

[And before the flames begin, do consider what this thread is all about. Gokigenyou.]
